About The Photographer
I have enjoyed a lifelong interest in all aspects of photography. My working career has primarily been on the printing and production side of the industry, and I have had the pleasure of printing for and working with some excellent professional photographers over the years. With my growing interest in the natural world (especially birds), it was inevitable that I would combine these two passions, and in the last several years, I have concentrated my efforts in being behind the camera again. My goal is to share portraits, interesting behaviors, and moments often too fleeting for the casual observer to catch, so that more people become interested in, and care about preserving, the wildlife of our planet.
